The official debunking can be found on snopes, snopes.com , which traces it back to early Nov. 2008, though without attribution then. I'd found it on SI around then copied from freep, but the earliest existing ref seems to be atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com which references a somewhat more incoherent and distasteful (but different) screed at patdollard.com .
